House update!

We went on our first trip to IKEA a couple weekends ago and really made

our living room feel cozy. Just a few little changes can go a long way! We also 

got some curtains for the bedroom and moved things around, but still have a lot 

of work to do in there!

The Story

"Our goal was to make the Bible read smoothly and easily, so that you can read it just like you'd read a novel. But The Story you're reading isn't any ordinary story. You are reading a story that has the power to change who you are, what you think and how you view life. You are exposing yourself to deep, transforming truth. So sit back and enjoy the truest, greatest story ever written."

I've been working on reading the Bible in chronological order for a while now, and just bought

The Story on my kindle. This book takes you through the stories of the bible in chronological order, 

but gives an easier read like a novel. This book is great for familiarizing yourself with the stories so that

going through the Bible will be a little easier to understand!

And now I'm quitting my job, transferring schools, and moving to Colorado Springs, CO!

Let the journey begin :)

God is really amazing me right now!

I don't want to go into too much detail, because some things should remain personal,

but God is working in my life right now in ways that I have never seen. 

While Zach has been in basic training I have been so persistent in prayer. Praying

over and over multiple times a day for myself, Zach, and our relationship. I am

absolutely overwhelmed by how much God is doing in our lives and in our

relationship right now. He is wiping out every single road block, stressor, or burden

that has ever been in our relationship and He is working so thoroughly in both of us. 

Zach and I are only able to communicate through letters right now, and it always takes

him much longer to receive mine that it does for me to receive his. And it's just

amazing to see how everything that has been on my heart, Zach has been praying for

before he ever knew it was on my heart. And how everything that has been on Zach's heart,

I have been praying for. It's like God is communicating to both of us about each other

without us even knowing it, and then in the letters we are able to see it. And on top of

that, every single prayer that the two of us have prayed has been answered. Immediately. 

Every single one. And there have been a lot!  I don't even have the words to describe how

much God is overwhelming us, growing us, teaching us, and working in us. 

Totally and completely amazed.
